2006 Toyota Tacoma

Another impressive Toyota redesign this year was the new 2006 Toyota Tacoma. This truck has been transformed from a small truck to a mid-size truck. You are familiar with the Tacoma of the past. They’re as reliable as the day is long, but how will the new truck stack up?

I went shopping and to be honest I was also looking at the Nissan Frontier. It has been redesigned and is approximately the same size as the new Tacoma. The Nissan has a rail system on the bed of the truck, but the Toyota has it on the edge of the higher platform. I like it better as it seems like it would make tying items much easier. Also, on the bed, there are two neat lockable storage compartments located so they are not noticeable. Pretty slick.

The new V6 has 236 hp, which is not far behind in anyone’s book. The old V6 had about 190 hp I think. The standard 4-cylinder is 2.7 liters and has 164 hp, which is more than most V6s.

There is an X-Runner available, which is more for show and go than off the road or at work. My dad got the old version, which was an S-Runner Tacoma. They are slippery. Dad is great, and I’ve only seen one X-Runner at a car show while they sell before they’re in the parking lot too long. A truck that can hold .9G on the skid deck will rival most sports cars. Basically the X-runner has it all. The Prerunner and Crew Cab are top of the line for 4×4 trucks, but they have plenty of options. The only option I can find on the X-runner is the daytime running lights.

Don’t worry, the SR5 still comes equipped with a chrome grille, colored bumpers, fenders, leather steering wheel, and variable windshield wipers. The V6 has fog lights and the Sport Package includes the limited-slip rear differential. The off-road package adds bigger wheels, better suspension with bilstein shocks, a locking rear differential and skid plates and tow hooks.

The TRD Sport truck is my favorite with the hood, 17 “wheels, nicer seats, power outlet, and a sleek overhead console with compass and temperature gauge.

The Tacoma is no longer the truck you see out there. My dad was 4. I’ve only owned one Toyota pickup and drove it until the wheels fell off. But you know what? It started and worked every time. I’m sure the trucks we see on the lot today will last for another generation due to Toyota’s unsurpassed quality.
